Lac Da Vang - A
Goals & Scope of Work
The Block 15-1/05 Lac Da Vang Project is one of Vietnam’s key offshore oil and gas developments. As part of the project, PPL provided site-move and load-out services for the LDV-A-PP Jacket, ensuring its safe transfer from the fabrication yard onto a barge for offshore transportation and installation.
Key Challenges
The LDV-A-PP Jacket weighs up to 2,836 tons, requiring specialized transport and load-out solutions
Large dimensions and complex center of gravity, demanding precise calculations for load distribution and stability control
Load-out operations require high precision to ensure safe transfer from yard to barge
Site conditions at the fabrication yard and quay are affected by weather and tidal variations
Solutions & Deployment
PPL implemented the site-move and load-out plan based on detailed engineering calculations and close coordination among stakeholders:
Utilized SPMT systems to transport the jacket structure, ensuring load distribution and stability during movement
Designed a load-out method tailored to yard and quay conditions to ensure safe transfer
Closely monitored key technical parameters such as center of gravity, tilt and load distribution throughout execution
Ensured coordinated operations between engineering, operations and site teams to maintain schedule and minimize risks
